WITHIN MY HEART

You were hidden in my heart, 

I didn't see you;

I failed to see you.

I cast my eyes outward, 

I didn't look into my heart.

In all my adorations, all injuries, all hopes

You were with me;

I didn't go to you.

You were my joy in all my plays,

So happily I forgot everything;

My days were spent in neglect.

Concealed deep within my heart,

To my song of all joys and miseries,

You have set the tune.

Still, I didn't sing your song.
